The Listen (Korean: 더 리슨) is a South Korean music-travel television program series that airs on SBS. The show premiered on September 26, 2021, followed by new seasons in 2022, 2024 (Seasons 3 and 4), 2025, and 2026.

01Synopsis

The Listen is a music travel reality program that follows vocalists on a busking trip across various South Korean cities.

The initial season followed a five-member female group named "The Listen" during their travels through Mokpo, releasing both individual solo singles and a group collaboration track. Season 2 featured seven male vocalists busking in various locations from Sinchon to Gwangju, while Season 3 formed a six-member male group, "Voi6," collaborating with special guest artists across Seoul, Daejeon, and Buyeo. Season 4 introduced the show's first co-ed group (five males and four females), expanding to Gongju, Daegu, and Hongseong. In Season 5, the format shifted toward public-support busking, taking the cast into everyday urban locations such as university campuses, parks, and Seoul Plaza. Season 6 will feature a massive 14-member lineup.
